The removal of subsidies for electricity and gas is closer to materialization. Through the form that is completed in the subsidy register, the Secretariat of Energy has already communicated to thousands of customers that they will have a “gradual” increase in their bills. See you on Monday, 600,000 families registered. But the official goal is to have information on a total of between 8 and 9 million homesaccording to santiago yanottivice president of Cammesa and in charge of supervising the process by the Secretary of Energy.
The Executive Branch asks all customers to register from last Friday until July 26, as deadline, according to official notices. Meanwhile doubts arise. Here are some answers to the most frequently asked questions:
What happens if I don’t register, will I have increases, since when?
The government estimates that starting from the next one it will have a new table of electricity and gas tariffs 1 August. From there, you have to define the implementation of the same, that is the moment in which you order the regulatory bodies to inform the distributors of the new values. It could just happen since Septemberin official estimates.
If the family does not meet the minimum income ($ 348,000 per month) and is not on the register, does it lose benefits?
In principle, the government says it will apply increases to all those who do not register in the registry. In other words, anyone who wants to preserve state subsidies on the cost of electricity and gas must let them know. However, behind closed doors, there is a different perception. Do you want to get to income above 10%.. Retirees or social tariff recipients are unlikely receive raiseseven if they don’t sign up. It is estimated that the government will examine which families have “social” protection before deciding on the increases.
What happens if I do not receive an appointment with Anses before the registration deadline or the form not completed?
The government is asking that all those in need of subsidies request it. But it will try to “minimize” the exclusion criteria, that is, not to remove the subsidy from those in need. The Secretary of Energy may incorporate, even after registration, customers he assumes may continue to need subsidies. In this way he will try to contemplate the cases of those who they did not have access to the technology to fill out the form.
-What happens if I can’t register for registration until Tuesday 26th? Do I lose the benefit?
People who are unable to perform the procedure on their own and require Anses’ assistance are just getting shifts July 27. In other words, the official date has already been changed by another government agency. Towards the weekend, depending on the number of members, the Secretary of Energy may announce new deadlines.
How is income calculated in the case of those with variable income?
The government proposes a average which reflects an approximate amount of a family’s income. The Secretariat for Energy will compare the data with the revenue system (Sinthys), but it may take some time. The “inconsistencies” that could arise (between what is declared in the form and the actual income) it can cause you to lose your aid. In any case, the government is trying to get a large-scale approach, without focusing on particular cases.
Some tips for filling out the form
Tuesday is the last day to sign up for the form for those users whose ID ends with 0, 1 and 2. It is only filled out one record per family, although it is necessary to specify the number of members of the same. IDs ending with 3,4 and 5 You can fill out the form between Wednesday 20 July and Friday 22. Those who have a document that ends between 6 and 9they have time between Saturday 23 and Tuesday 26.
The form requests information on the employment situation (dependency relationship, self-employment, jobless) as well as data on the perception of pensions, allowances or social plans.
All users must provide a phone number (this can be that of a family member or friend), while having a mailing address handy. e-mail. That box will be treated as your “legal e-mail address for grant application purposes”.
The middle segments (earn up to $ 348,869, own up to two properties) and a car under the age of three will keep the grants.
